Rest assured there is no bias in my comment, Layercake. The list, as I’m sure you are aware, is of the most recent GP winners. I am not considering drivers who went on to be midfield challengers as I feel they are […]

Since I have recently become a McLaren fan again this comment may appear as sour grapes, but I don’t think Symonds claims that McLaren are not winning because of something on their aerodynamic side is true. I […]

@petebaldwin For the sake of balance and playing devil’s advocate it could easily be argued that every driver is adaptable because, as you rightly say, they have won in different cars on the way to F1. However, […]

@functor
What a low comment. To exaggerate facts and to twist them to suit a point of view is one thing, to make a completely baseless claim with only the intention to smear is quite unacceptable. To infer […]

Before the first test I added a comment to an article outlining my belief that McLaren’s first priority should be reliability. A good number of people, whom I felt should have known better, disagreed saying that […]

@peartree Yeah it’s a bit like a player receiving a yellow card for taking his top off while celebrating. Because FIFA, UEFA, the FA etc control every aspect of the marketing of the sport then when a player […]

I am aware that Toto Wolff was probably giving a generic answer to what, by now, must have become pretty tedious subject but I would hope a team of Mercedes calibre would “always learn from (their) mistakes.” […]

I think that Damon was probably left in a similar situation to Alonso in late 2007 and to an extent, last year. It’s not only that there were only really three teams capable of winning: Ferrari, where his […]

Yeah, from what I remember about the hype around JPM in his first couple of years was that he would blossom into a great champion. This was forged on the basis he was a little ragged round the edge but certainly […]

Can anyone help explain why Ron Dennis’ logic on title sponsorship is flawed when comparing it to Manchester United? I thought the point being made was that a significant proportion of the budget cannot be brought […]

Sorry Corey, of course it is! RogerA, I have seen some of these stories and indeed it does look like VJM is in serious trouble and has been for a while now. That said, it surely isn’t good enough that a midfield […]

Couldn’t agree with you more @tata regarding your opinion that midfield teams must be able to run easily. It really is a sad case for the staff there as job cuts are inevitable. I would love nothing more than to […]

It is clear you are entrenched in your opinion, Cranberry and who am I to dissuade you from it. Alonso clearly favours having a second string team-mate but so did Schumacher and Alonso arguably cost himself the […]

Cranberry you’re coming across as a very strong Raikkonen fan unable to accept that he was beaten by the better man. I can not speak for Alonso but I highly doubt his move from Ferrari was attributed to cowardice. […]

Cranberry and @todfod, what I think makes Alonso great and successful is his consistency. He is also regarded as relentless in his desire for success and typically fights for the podium til the last embers of the […]

I’m over the moon with the way the McLaren has performed over the first four days. My first concern was reliability as McLaren will have the largest development potential and points on the board early on could […]

Concerning McLaren changing livery, I think that was pretty obvious from the launch and its photographs. Expensive launches are pretty common for big teams and normally feature most of the stuff McLaren did when […]
